To help get things started, here are some simple definitions of some commonlyused mortgage terminology:

Fixed-Rate MortgageWith this kind of loan, the interest rate is fixed for the term of the loan and your payments remain constant over the life of the loan.

Adjustable Rate MortgageThe interest rate is set for a fixed period of time, but that period is shorter than the actual term of the loan. There are multiple options for the rate reset time frame.

Jumbo Loan This is any first mortgage for an amount greater than $417,000.

Renovation LoanThis type of loan is used for the sole purpose of renovating your home.

Portfolio 5/1 or 7/1 MortgageLoans are available for properties that do not conform to the underwriting guidelines set by secondary market investors. The interest is fixed for 5 or 7 years then becomes an adjustable rate loan.

One-Time-Close Construction-To-Perm LoanThis kind of loan is used for the construction of a home where monies can be drawn in increments during construction. Upon completion of the home, it is automatically converted to a mortgage loan.

FHA LoanThis kind of mortgage is insured by the FHA to assist homebuyers who may not be able to qualify for a conventional mortgage.

THDA LoanThis loan is a subsidized interest rate loan for qualified individuals who have not owned a home in the previous three years.

VA LoanThis is a special mortgage program for veterans of the United States armed forces.

First-Time Homebuyer LoanThis loan is designed for individuals who are buying a first home and just beginning to build a credit history.

Second Home LoanThis is a mortgage for individuals who are acquiring a second home to be used for residential and/or recreational purposes, but not for the sole purpose of being an income-producing property (by leasing it out full-time to others).

Investment Property LoanThis kind of mortgage is for the purchase of residential homes to be leased out on a full-time basis for the sole purpose of generating income.
